This is a fantastic place to stay! Very nice view from the top of the mountain to the Mediterranean. Fabulous house and great hosts! The roof was great in the evening when the inside of the house was a bit too warm. If you are looking for a calm retreat away from touristic places, this is the place!

Where the MESSARA with all its wonderful olive groves, lemon and orange trees merges into the ASTEROUSSIA MONTAINS on the way from IRAKLION to LENTAS you find the little village called PLORA. Our country house (main building and annexe) with private garden and lots of cosy corners to relax is located at the end of the village. In a prominent position on a hill, you have a magnificent view of the MESSARA. The old part of the complex was built in the beginning of the 20th century, the cultivation of the new part took place in 1992 in consideration of historically important components. So many details, such as for example the millstone are still situated in the bottom part of the garden, and the old amphorae are decorated with oleander bushes.
In the upper part of the house you find a historic sandstone fireplace. You live in spacious rooms with fully equipped kitchen, 2 showers, 2 toilets and washing machine. The solar system completed by main supply provides hot water in all seasons. From the large terrace you have a splendid view of the Messara olive groves and the IDA massif with the Psiloritis. In the lower, historic building you live in in two floors. The balcony of t he upper room offers a magnificent view of the beautiful garden and the IDA mountains. The old kitchen-grill in the wind-protected atrium next to the old building makes the outdoor cooking possible.
With a car you can reach KOMO Beach in about 20 minutes. It is one of the most beautiful beaches of Crete, which spreads for a stretch of about 5 km at the south coast of Crete.

Spacious and bright maisonette 100 meters from the sea. Perfect place for relaxation. You can discover all the hidden beaches of southern Crete.

quiet and spacious home with wonderful sea view.

quiet neighborhood with local people

My friend and I stayed for 2 weeks in the house from Marirena. The contact was very friendly from the beginning. Although the journey by car from the airport took 1.5 hours we were picked up by the father and the boyfriend of Marirena. Again thank you for that, because otherwise it would not have been easy to find the house, It is as isolated as we wanted, and in South Crete there are sometimes only dirt roads to drive. This has the advantage that you will enjoy seclusion, peace and secluded beaches with clean gravel beach and clear water. The nearest beach from the house is a 5 minute walk, and we had our own umbrella there :-). Sometimes we were alone at the beach, at the weekend are more local people there. Also ideal if one likes to snorkel. The house and the terrace is very large and clean on two floors. Downstairs living room and kitchen and on the first floor are two bedrooms and a large bath room, also 3 balconies. One thought of food and water for us. In the night you can sit on the terrace and have a fantastic view in the sky with all the stars and the milky way. There are tavernas nearby where you can eat and drink, and the next supermarket is ca. 25 minutes by car. We had a really wonderful time in this house and at this place, we loved every day there!!!! Marirena was always helpful and accessible for us. Thanks a lot to Marirena, her boyfriend and her family, we had the feeling of being welcomed with open arms! Hope we see us again!!!!

The best way to meet the cretan people. Zacharias family make you feel like one more of the house. They invited us to a cretan party, a long tea talking, a lunch with their family and friends. Absolutely recomended!

We loved staying in Peri at Zacharias home! The village is very peaceful and in a good position to reach beautiful beaches around and archeological sites. Zacharias family was lovely! They take care of us and give us good sugestions about what to visit. We felt home!

Alice 2016-10-12T00:00:00Z

«Loving Care». This is how you will be treated at Zaccharia's home. You're made part of the family, you're offered coffee, food, advice all with a genuine smile. This is a village. Ideal for a quiet retreat (romantic or otherwise). Restaurants, supermarkets, shops etc. are a stone throw away in Mires, Sivas etc. But you can't do without a car... The whole place is blessed with peace. Room is quiet, spacious, scenic room giving on the plane planted with olives. Everything is neat and clean. Recommended for those who know what they need.

Great place to stay for a few days. We didn't acually meet Zacharias but his mom was very welcoming. The room is big with a lovely balcony and you have your own modern bathroom. Everything was super clean. I highly recommand visiting the town of Matala which is about 15 minutes away and if you'd like to visit a farm and learn more about Cretan way of ethical farming, making cheese, learn about native herbs etc, I can't recommend enough a visit to Kamilis farm (URL HIDDEN) 10 minutes way from the house.

The week in Crete in the house Veggera was perfect from the first to the last day. When we found the house after a short time (located a little hidden in a small street) we were received directly friendly from our hosts. They gave us a guided tour of the house and felt right at ease. The house itself is equipped and high quality. At the temperatures is also worth mentioning, that in each room an air conditioning is available, which takes only 2 minutes to cool the room. During our visit, unfortunately, the pool was not yet finished, but the house will still give the finishing touch. From the terrace you have a wonderful view of the mountains and the sunsets were as from the picture book. To the town of Pombia it can be said that it is a small traditional village, which has not yet been really taken by tourism. If you want to experience Crete in its original form, this is the right place. For all those then but gladly a little strolling would recommend 10 minutes by car to Matala to drive. Beautiful small town on a bay with many restaurants and small Touriläden. Still to be mentioned is the weekly market every Saturday morning in Moires. I have never bought fresh fruits and vegetables so cheaply (for example watermelons 30 cent the kilo). We enjoyed every single day in this house and on Crete in general and were also visited by Xristina again and again whether it is also all right and have received cakes and other gifts from her. They were perfect hosts and I can only recommend a visit to their house. We will be back.

2-levels house from stone and wood with amazing Psiloritis and Asterousia mountains view and uncounted olive groves of the fertile Messara valley view. 58Km from Heraklion airport “Nikos Kazantzakis”. 15 km from the famous beach of Matala

The house is extremely confortable & very well equipped, even though it is a little bit cut off. The view on the olive trees fields is fantastic. Magdalena & Vasilis warmly welcome you and spend time to give you smart advices. It is also very nice to find cupboards full of good cretan products. I recommend this place.

Six kms from the village lie two gorgeous, beaches in the Libyan Sea,. Aghios Ioannis and Eligia beach.

The house is built right next to the sea. It is ideal for family vacations.The beautiful beach that lies a few meters away from the house offers clear and crystal waters. The uniqueness of the nature and the feeling of isolation you are going to feel during your staying on Ai-Giannis will totally fulfill you.

The uniqueness of the nature and the feeling of isolation you are going to feel during your staying on Ai-Giannis will totally fulfill you.
You can check a beautiful video (captured by a drone) of the house as well as the entire village on Youtube searching for"Beautiful South Crete Experience next to the Sea "

You can find some basic stuff (food/vegetables ect.) on the small mini market in the center of the village.
I recommend on getting your supplies from a supermarket near Heraklion, on your way to Ai-Giannis or in Vagionia which is located about 45 minutes from the village
There is also a small tavern running at the moment where you can have some drinks/coffee/small plates-meze/daily plates

Konstantis (and his Father Giannis who came down to the village after we arrived to give us working AC remotes) was a great host and provided us with guides on how to get to the house and the things to do in surrounding region (beaches and hikes). We loved the little village of Ai Giannis and the people of the village were really wonderful and welcoming. The beaches and location are very peaceful, and truly relaxing. That said, I feel it's important to point out that this is a remote village and as such, some things may not work as expected (coming from a well organized city or less remote villages). Konstantis mentioned 2 tavernas in his guide, but none were open during our entire stay. We managed in the end by going to Soula's (the cafenion by the beach in the village) who makes food in her home (one or two dish choices every day) and serves it at her coffee shop. This was also our point of contact with the other villagers who were very helpful and made our stay that much better. The mini market was ok (not as well stocked as other villages we visited, but it's remote, so they don't keep a lot of variety) but the people at the market were so helpful, even offering us veggies from their gardens :-) . We experienced a flat tire while down at the village and Petros at the mini market kindly offered to take the wheel up the road and have it fixed when he went up for provisions for the market. The next day, the wheel was fixed and for 5 euros. Konstantis provided us with a cell phone and also (even though it wasn't mentioned in the listing when booked) internet access through a mobile router. There's only one provider in the village, Cosmote, with an antenna that is up at Kapetaniana (the last village village before going down). The antenna was down the last two days we were there with no other means of communication apart from riding up the road to the next village (45mins to 1hour). While I believe this to be a rare occurrence, the remoteness of the village makes it such that if you depend on those lines of communications, you may be disappointed. If all you want to do is disconnect and relax and enjoy the sea. Then Ai Giannis is the perfect picturesque village to do it in. We will be back there in the future :-) thank you Konstantis and Giannis.

The house is located in a really stunning, peaceful and protected area, it's perfect for a quiet and peaceful holiday. The nature around is wonderful and the beaches are preserved and pleasant. Getting there is difficult, but it is absolutely worth it. The village is quite small and secluded; besides houses you only have a restaurant, a bar and a convenience store there. But the local inhabitants are very nice, helpful and friendly. If you want to really disconnect from urban life, relax on a deserted beach, have stunning views a few minutes away from home, and yet enjoy most modern comforts, it is the perfect place.
